Yamaha RX-V1600 owner manual ZONE 2/ZONE, Connecting the Zone 2 and Zone 3 components, Notes

ZONE 2/ZONE 3

This unit allows you to configure a multi-room audio system. The Zone 2 and Zone 3 features enable you to set this unit to reproduce separate input sources in the main room, second room (Zone 2) and third room (Zone 3). You can control this unit from the second or third room using the supplied remote control.

Only analog signals are sent to the second and third rooms. Any source you want to listen to in the second or third room must be connected using the analog (AUDIO L/R) input jacks on this unit.

Connecting the Zone 2 and Zone 3 components

You need the following additional equipment to use the multi-room functions of this unit:

•An infrared signal receiver in the second and/or third room.

•An infrared emitter in the main room. This emitter transmits the infrared signals from the remote control in the second and/or third room to the main room (to a CD player or DVD player, for example).

•An amplifier and speakers for the second and/or third room.

y

•You do not need an extra amplifier and speakers for the second and/or third room if you want to use the internal amplifiers of this unit.

•Since there are many possible ways to connect and use this unit in a multi-room configuration, we recommend that you consult with your nearest authorized YAMAHA dealer or service center for the Zone 2 and Zone 3 connections that best meet your requirements.

•Some YAMAHA models are able to connect directly to the CONTROL OUT jack on this unit. If you own these products, you may not need to use an infrared emitter. Up to six YAMAHA components can be connected as shown.
